Hi, All!

  I am very ignorant and illiterate about TeX and just began to work with it
not long ago. So forgive me if the following questions sound not intelligent.

1. Where can I get a TeX package working on an PC/386 with VGA or 8514 screen 
   previewer and HP Laserjet/HP Deskjet printer drivers? (Am I ask too much?
   I heard that the entire TeX is PD)
2. What is the difference between .pxl and .pk fonts? and am* and cm*? Say if 
   I get a driver /previewer for am*.pxl only, can I use it to a document 
   formatted with cm*.pk? and vice versa?
3. Many commercially distributed TeX packages have only limited fonts, can I 
   directly download some fonts in UNIX and use it on a PC?
4. What are the programs "web", "tangle" and "weave" for? Is any of them 
   available on a PC?
5. Is there any metafont program available on a PC? If I want generate a new
   font, what should I do?

  Any response will be appreciated. Please reply to this account to save 
bandwidth. If enough responses receive, I shall post a summary.

  Thanks in advance.
